Call me to discuss how we can help you with what you need. 563-542-0735.

Why Gerarda Lahey-Keppler chose Iowa
This beautiful barn was built in 1935, and the craftsmanship and labor that went into this creation has made it a treasure. It is surrounded by the beauty of the country with each season giving you something breathtaking to experience. The inside has been furnished and designed in a way to provide your family/group so much space and seating that you can be together for meals and separated for the different activities you desire. The outside space gives you so much room for games and enjoyment...and you can sit around the campfire and make incredible memories.
What makes this chateau / country house unique
The beauty inside and out, the large space that will accommodate your group...and the joy of the country! The views with every season are amazing...

Where family Memories were made...
The Barn House was perfect for our family gathering. From the moment we arrived, it felt so peaceful and inviting. Gerarda was so welcoming we felt right at home. The Barn House was neat and clean. Everything you need for kitchen use was also clean and easy to locate in the spacious kitchen. Having morning coffee on the spacious decks, listening to the countryside wake up filled the soul with tranquility. The views were very picturesque, and the sunset was spectacular! It was nice to have the bonus room for games and even a baby shower after the sunset. This is truly a gem found in Epworth, Iowa! It was hard to leave this wonderful get away. Thanks Tony & Gerarda for sharing this spectacular place where many cherished memories were made. Finding out the stained-glass windows were from our hometown, was a bonus!

50th Wedding Celebration
What a magnificent place to hold any type of gathering. It's for any age group and we highly recommend the Barnhouse. Once we checked in there was nothing left to do but enjoy and that we did. Gerarda (Owner) could not have been more hospitible and delightful making us all feel so welcome. Barnhouse comes complete with all you might think. Games for the kids (basketball & Hoops) , horseshoes , and the Game Room......... The bedrooms were fully equipped with all the little extras and lots of history in each room. It sure made our celebration a memorable one. We had a big storm later that night but standing by the big windows looking out-you could see Mother Nature at her best. We ALL ( about 100) are so glad to have chosen the Barnhouse and should another occasion come up--we truly know who and where to call. The view was simply fantastic. It was the most and best experience ever and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Thank you Gerarda for your part in our Celebration. God Bless you and your family. 50 Stars.
Cousins Reunion
OMG! What a great place for the cousins to meet! Instead of the usual 12, only 7 were able to come. Needless to say, we had more room than we needed! Gerarda was there to meet us Friday to show us around! Saturday, we couldn't decide what to do and were enjoying each other and the Barn so much, that we stayed and played games on the screened in porch! It is close to many sites. Later we went to the casino and out for supper. Sunday, Gerardo was there to answer our questions on cleaning up. We had so much fun and there was so much space for us! The kitchen had more than enough space for all the food we brought and everything we needed! Plenty, plenty of bathrooms for us girls! We lucked out on beautiful weather so could enjoy the deck and screened in porch! Beds, comfy! Accommodating owners! Plenty of room for the girls to watch TV, read a book or play games if they wanted! Would we come back? Most definitely and will, in 2 years at the next Cousins Reunion!
Family of 18
We stayed at the Barn House Feb 19, 2016 to Feb 21, 2016. What a beautiful place to stay!! The barn house is so large that it did not ever feel like we were crowded. The kids loved the ski ball and ping pong table that were in the game room/garage. The top level has a very large bedroom with its own bath and a separate loft area where there is a Murphy bed. The main floor had a beautiful large kitchen, large deck, four seasons room, large living room and dinning room where all of us sat around the table playing games, and two more bedrooms. There is a lower level of the barn that had three bedrooms, bar, laundry, and another living room area. We have little ones so we loved that there was a full crib and two kid gates that were there for us to use. We will definitely consider coming back here again for a family get together.
Thank You Gerarda For Sharing Your Home With Us!!!
Great Getaway
Stayed at the Barn House with a group of 9. It was such a great setting and very peaceful. The owners were great to deal with and very friendly. The weather was perfect and the star gazing fantastic. The Barn House was huge. We had plenty of time for playing games, but the house was large enough for people to have their own space a well. We visited the Field of Dreams while we were there (20 minutes away). I would highly recommend that as well.
Awesome !
Perfect on every way ! Had our annual family reunion of 2 months old to 65...21 of us! Plenty of room for everyone! Great game room! Great yard for bocci and outdoor play ! This one will be hard to top!!
Map
The Barn House is located west of Dubuque(approx 20 miles) and is close to a multitude of activities and attractions with Park Farm Winery, Heritage Trail and Sundown Ski Resort only a few miles away. You will not want for things to do, and you may find your favorite thing of all is to just sit and enjoy the people you are with...and the serenity of beautiful country that surrounds you.
